Cable provider deploys Gigabit services to provide a richer online
experience for more than 40,000 households in Southeast Alabama
HUNTSVILLE, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr. 23, 2015--
ADTRAN®,
Inc., (NASDAQ: ADTN), a leading provider of next-generation
networking solutions, today announced a new addition to its Enabling
Communities, Connecting Lives program. Troy Cable has selected
ADTRAN’s advanced Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) portfolio for its Gigabit
Internet Service offering for residential customers in more than 20
communities across Alabama. One hundred times faster than today’s basic
broadband, residents will no longer have to wait for streaming to buffer
thereby making gaming, movie streaming and video chats much better
experiences.
As one of the first true Gigabit networks in Alabama, Troy Cable is
continuing its long history of investing back into the community while
addressing the needs of key customers and market segments. Today’s
millennial generation, for example, demands more capacity and bandwidth
than ever before. With their hands full of connected devices, these
consumers are focused on services that provide top-quality broadband to
view videos, access social media and connect to global events. They’re
three times more likely than non-millennials to watch television online
and are willing to pay for high-quality viewing with minimal pauses and
interference. The Gigabit Internet Service enables Troy Cable to meet
the demands of these tech-savvy customers with symmetrical broadband
speeds of up to one Gigabit.
“Our customers expect the fastest internet connection possible for
telecommuting, video streaming, gaming and more. Add to that the growing
number of devices in each household, launching a Gigabit Internet
Service offering was a logical next step. We have the fiber
infrastructure in place and are delivering the fastest, most reliable
Gigabit service available in Alabama,” said Jake Cowen, General Manager
of Troy Cable. “ADTRAN’s Gigabit services architecture helped make this
happen by allowing us to continue investing in the future of our
community and provide the best network infrastructure possible for our
customers.”
“As Troy Cable remains dedicated to enhancing the community’s broadband
infrastructure, they’re changing the way customers look at cable
companies,” said Mitch Fleming, regional vice president, sales, ADTRAN
Carrier Networks Division. “Beyond offering standard cable services,
Troy Cable is thinking long-term by offering its customers a complete
portfolio of solutions. They are taking broadband service offering to
the next level, as well as finding a competitive differentiator in a
demanding marketplace.”
